Sure I could route dns queries out through a ssh tunnel but the latency makes this kind of thing unusable at times. instead of an ssh tunnel, how about simple port forwarding?
/etc/resolv.conf nameserver 127.0.0.1
And then whatever it takes to forward 127.0.0.1:53 to a dns that is listing on some other port?
hmm, I think running a local caching dns was mentioned, but the parts that may have been un-verified:
man named
-p port Listen for queries on port port. If not specified, the default is port 53.
man named.conf everywhere there is an address, there is also the option to specify port: ( ipv4_address | * ) [ port ( integer | * ) ]
Right, plus 'forward only' in the config file. --Steve Bellovin, http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb
